Abstract
- Laser-driven ion beams are defined by a number of unique features, including a large spread in energy. A stack configuration of radiochromic film (RCF) can be utilized to characterize such beams through measurements of their energy spectra. A spectroscopic procedure is reported that allows the proton energy density within each active layer of a radiochromic film (RCF) stack to be retrieved. This is based upon on a deconvolution algorithm developed through Geant4 Monte Carlo simulations to correct the contributions of energy depositions within a given film layer. Through Monte Carlo calculations, the spectrum retrieved from a simulated film stack can be retrieved and compared with a known energy spectrum, providing an examination of the efficacy of this tool. Application of the developed deconvolution procedure thus offers the potential to correctly reconstruct the incident energy spectrum of a laser-driven proton and ion beam from a stack of irradiated RCF.<br />Comment: 6 pages, 3 figures, submission as a proceeding to ECPD 2021
